The Landing · 04: The long way round






The lift works again after eight months. Celia still takes the stairs.
- Mina
- The lift works again. After eight months.
- Celia
- I heard. Go on, then.
- Mina
- Celia. It’s four floors.
- Celia
- Four floors is why I’m still walking.
- Mina
- Then I’ll wait at the bottom.
- Celia
- Wait at the café. Order for two.
- Mina
- You’ll be ages.
- Celia
- Before it’s cold.
